I requested this book from paperbackswap.com back in June 2011 – and it has been sitting on my To-Be-Read shelf ever since. I was intrigued by the blurb on the back cover - the concept of the story line seemed disturbing, but there were a lot of positive reviews out there. So I was pretty excited to find out that Julie at Peanut Butter Fingers selected the book for her May Book Club selection. It was the perfect opportunity for me to finally delve into the book!
THE FIRST LINE
“You know, Doc, you’re not the first shrink I’ve seen since I got back.”
FROM THE PUBLISHER
On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a thirty-two-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she’s about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.
Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin—which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist—is the second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.
Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal, and beautifully crafted novel about surviving the unsurvivable—and living to bear witness. Copyright 2010 St. Martin’s Griffin
